Tjalk Thekla of Papenburg

Highlight • Monument

The "Tjalk" ship type is a flat-bottomed ship with characteristic leeboards and, thanks to its shallow draft, is particularly suitable as a sailor for navigating shallow canals.

Neither original nor fake: The six ships in the Papenburg open-air exhibition are true-to-original replicas that were manufactured according to historical plans by Meyer Werft - metal models on a 1:1 scale, so to speak. They are located on the canals of the city center and are reminiscent of the great tradition of shipbuilders, who designed the right vehicle for every requirement.

The Papenburg open-air shipping museum is spread across the entire city and consists of six original-size replicas of Papenburg sailing ships from the 19th century.

St. Antonius Church

Highlight • Religious Site

The Sankt Antonius Church in Papenburg, with its historic town hall opposite and the historic ship in between, is the central place in the city, which is divided into “lower end” and “upper end” and which is followed by the pedestrian zone to the west. Built on moorland, the impressive neo-Gothic building was consecrated in December 1877, after the previous church, built in 1682, had become too small and before it was demolished on the diagonally opposite side in 1878. The church is named after Saint Anthony of Padua. Since 1966, federal highway 70 has passed right by it on the north-south axis.
It is not only worth taking a tour around the 70 meter long and 35 meter wide church, but also a visit to the beautiful interior is recommended. In addition to a free-standing high altar, numerous frescoes and wall paintings are definitely worth a tour. The view of the central baptismal font and the central and soap ships has its own charm. Since 2020, the Walcker organ with its monumental pipe towers under the church tower and the console in the side choir has completed the church in an acoustically overwhelming way. Further details can also be found on Wikipedia: (de.wikipedia.org/wiki/St._Antonius_(Papenburg)?wprov=sfti1
St. Anthony (Papenburg))
In addition to many other churches in the city, it is also worth visiting the Lutheran Nikolai Church, located a little further west on the main canal, as well as the Sankt Michael Church, which in the center of the Obenende with its separate bell tower is another highlight of the city.
